Chicago

Chi town.
Hog butcher to the world.
City of big shoulders.
My kind of town.

Low love. Cities are deep
and dense. Heat rises, but comes
at you sideways as well. It's
motion is fluid, pliable and deceptive.

Water in pipes, zippers operate,
voices claim malfunction and
no entry. I cannot forget
Popeye Doyle. Connections
are many, funds are limited.

Is any purchase beyond
sustenance justifiable?
Reason, come to me.

Hotel rooms are posers.
Substitute homes and
they cannot even admit
it.

All bowls are threatening
because of their ability to
hold.
